CUFF-FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,133, dated December 4, 1888.

Application filed April 19, 1888. Serial No. 271,230. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS PRESTWICH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have 111- vented anew and useful Improvement in Cuff- Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in the combination of a bar-hook with a revoluble wire spiral screw for attaching the bar-hook to the sleeve or garment.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved cuff-fastener. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section showing the attachment to the sleeve for holding the cuff.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the bar-hook, which passes around the forward end of the end D.

B is the revoluble wire spiral, which is provided with the centrally-arranged shank a, at the upper end of which is placed the knob (Z, or an equivalent device, for readily turning the wire spiral.

proper length. The wire is then passed through the perforation (Z in the end of the bar-hook A, and the projecting pointed end of the wire turned to the desired spiral form, thus preventing the subsequent removal of the attaching wire spiral from the hook.

In using my improved cuff-fastener the hook A is to be caught over the forward edge of the cuff D and the revoluble wire spiral B brought over the end of the sleeve and the sharpened point caused to penetrate the sleeve by the proper revolution of the wire spiral, thus securely fastening the cuff to the sleeve in its proper relative position by a screw movement, and the reverse rotary movement of the wire spiral screw will serve to disengage the bar-hook from the sleeve preparatory to the removal of the cuff.

I claim as my invention In combination, the bar-hook A, having the perforation I), and the wire spiral screw B, se curely held for rotation in the perforation Z), substantially as described.

THOMAS PRESTXYICH.
